Should you see Phoenix Festival Theaters The King and I during its final weekend at Harford Community College in Bel Air?
Is a puzzlement!
This is the classic Rogers and Hammerstein story of an 1860s widowed English schoolteacher who ventures to East Asia to teach the children (and currently favored wives) of the king of Siam. It is a story of a stranger in a strange land, trying to do the best job possible while adapting to unfamiliar circumstances.
Vocally, the show impresses. Schoolteacher Anna (Gail Bareham) bringsher A-game as she delivers the well-known I Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You, and Hello Young Lovers. The King (Douglas Kotula) is of good voice also, as he demonstrates in A Puzzlement. Perhaps one of the most tender and enjoyable musical numbers is provided by illicit lovers Tuptim (Tiffany R. Wise) and Lun Tha (Joseph Murphy) in We Kiss in a Shadow.
Visually, the show dazzles. The important to budget travel is to plan in front. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our heads. Organizing and expending our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Minimizing spending and fees, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, regardless of whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!. Kudos to the set artists. The kingslibrary is truly a royal space, a place fit for, well, a king. That room is best utilized with dancing choreographed by Bambi Johnson. The childrens number Getting to Know You and the Siamese interpretation of the novel Uncle Toms Cabin are particularly memorable.
Dramatically, the show frequently tugs at the heartstrings. Barehams Anna seems more tough than tender, although her tender side does come out when she considers prematurely leaving Siam - and her beloved school children - behind. She and Kotulas king enjoy a relationship that ranges from adversarial, to comedic, to something close to romantic.
Practically speaking, the show may sell out. The opening weekend audiences were very large and enthusiastic. Each audience gave this cast a standing ovation, a fact certainly being shared with many potential patrons of the arts.
Criticisms are few. In a couple of instances a moment of comedy is frustrated by simple things like the lack of a pause in the delivery of a line, or the visual revelation of a punch line before the telling of a joke.
Iwanted to laugh more.
Also, the king's look and manner make him believeable and compelling. But at leastinitially he should be more unapproachable and authoritarian. For example, he should move more slowly and deliberately and majestically, especially in the early scenes. Then we can better relish the breadth of his character as the plot reveals it.
He is, after all, the king.
